A fun, riveting romance full of twists and drama.
Lila Harper is reeling after seeing a photo of her ex-boyfriend and his new wife, so she drowns her sorrows at a bar, hoping to numb the sting of watching someone else start the life she once imagined for herself. She wakes up the next morning in a luxurious hotel room next to billionaire Miles Hawthorne, with no memory of the night before and even less idea of how she ended up married to a total stranger. Miles, meanwhile, is desperate. He needs a wife to secure his rightful inheritance, a board seat, and voting shares in the family business, and offering Lila ten percent of that inheritance seems like the perfect solution to both their problems. That is, until he takes her home to meet the family. After their quickie Vegas wedding, the two return to the stunning Hawthorne estate to keep up the ruse, all while under the watchful eye of Miles’s suspicious half-brother, who seems determined to prove the marriage is a sham. Can Lila play the adoring wife convincingly enough to fool a family who has every reason to be skeptical? Will Miles manage to keep his new wife happy long enough to secure what he’s worked for? And can their hasty, transactional marriage survive a charming rival and a gold-digging ex-girlfriend who both seem intent on tearing it apart?
A fun, riveting romance full of twists and drama, Accidentally His is a book that’s easy to devour in a single sitting. With characters that read like real people, there’s more to this fake-relationship premise than simple plot mechanics. A tampered saddle, a set of account books that don’t add up, and a glossy family whose smiles hide harder intentions all add subtle layers of suspense. Steele’s deliberate pacing keeps the story from feeling rushed while allowing the tension to build steadily, ensuring that readers are glued to the page. By alternating between points of view, audiences get to know the cast on a personal level with all their pride, arrogance, and tenacity. Seeing both sides of their conflict makes it easy to pull for each of them on their own terms, especially when their strong personalities collide. Besides Lila and Miles, readers will also enjoy an unlikely ally whose sassy advice adds warmth and unexpected humor to the story’s higher-stakes moments. Forced proximity is only the beginning of what becomes some serious personal reckoning and rewarding inner growth. Fans of billionaire romances, marriage-of-convenience tropes, and slow-burn chemistry wrapped in layers of family intrigue will find Accidentally His to be an addictive read from start to finish.
